RUSSIAN DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION
PLAYING AT POLITICS.
The Russian Democratic conforence resulted in remarkable incidents -- The Retch recently published a blank page instead of a leading article, which was suppressed by the editor at the lust moment. M. Nasov, the
Maximalist leader, in violent speech at the cou ference, read the text of the suppressed leader deeply compromising the Cadets, who were identified with General Korni, loff's nims. This created a sensation, and the revelations made the participation of the Cadets in the Coalition Government extremely dificult. The conference is now less favourable to any coalition.....

An English in Russia gives in a lotter, the following description of the Women's, Battalion of Death.
I enclose your postcard of the Women's Battalion of Death” of which: I dar say you have heard a good deal. I visited them in their trenches. The colonel is e soldier's wife and was five times wounded fighting with her husband, till he was killed. She is a peasant, and: is now in hospital suffering from shock. The adjutant is a girl of 18, and I found her in temporary command. Quite pretty and the daughter of an admiral, she is well educated, speaks English finently, and is in the smart set at Petro- grad.
* They are occupying a sector of the front line and de overything for themselves. Smarter than the men. I found their dis cipline good, sentries and snipers alert, and all seemed dendly earnest. They are so young. The age lims is 18 to 19 but most
